Grumpie Trumpie has it both ways

He’s backtracking on his abortion “clarification now”. Because of course he is. Via Right Wing Watch:
Pags: Many people say that the difference in Wisconsin is because of that ridiculous question that Chris Matthews that asked you. I’m not going to ask you the question because it was hypothetical and it was stupid. I really don’t believe the question had any merit whatsoever and the guy is not a journalist. But having said that, why continue to go on any MSNBC property after what CNBC did in that one debate that was disgusting? And then you go on MSNBC and you have to expect to be attacked. Why even go? It only benefits them. How does it benefit you?
Trump: It was a hypothetical question. A lot of people thought my answer was excellent, by the way. There were a lot of people who thought that was a very good answer. It was a hypothetical question. I didn’t see any big deal and then all of a sudden there was somewhat of a storm. And you know, it’s interesting, this morning I’m hearing two hosts on television that were critical and they said, “We really thought his first answer was very good.” Because you can’t win. “We thought it was good, what was wrong with his first answer?” And I heard a pastor, who is a fantastic pastor, saying, “Well, you know, if you think about it, his first answer is right.”
Pags: Your answer was consistent with conservatism but Chris Matthews has an agenda, so I’m not even wondering about the question because I thought it was loaded and stupid and hypothetical.
Trump: It was disgraceful.
Pags: Why go on the show? Why go?
Trump: I heard people defending it today. Now they defend it. Now they say, “It was really right.” The whole thing is just so — the press is extremely unfair. A lot of very terrible people. It is interesting with MSNBC. Not only that, I made NBC a fortune with “The Apprentice.” An absolute fortune with “The Apprentice.” But they’ve all got agendas and I understand that. Frankly, they’re bad but they’re sort of all bad. I don’t get treated well on Fox. I don’t get treated well on CNN.
He believes his first answer was the right one. He’s right. Plenty of people agree with him, it’s just not the politically correct answer. Apparently he hasn’t realized that the right has its own PC (John McCain anyone?) And by now I’d guess he fervently believes that women should be punished now that he sees “the women” are betraying him. (You can’t trust those beyotches….)
And when is somebody going to call him out on this endless complaining and crying about the press being so unfair to him boo-hoo-hoo, they’re all such meanies! What a whiner. Give him a bottle and put him to bed.
This can be a very potent meme against these bully types:
